You are trying to draw some Lewis structures for molecules based on some notes that a friend gave you. Unfortunately, your friend has very bad handwriting, so you can't read everything properly, especially the elemental symbols. You decide to write a shorthand for yourself, and you know that element Q has 4 valence electrons, element R has 5 valence electrons, element T has 6 valence electrons, and element X has 7 valence electrons.
Determine the shape of each of the following molecules from what you know about their valence electrons. Choose the shape for each one from the dropdown menu.
The molecule QX4 has a shape of
The molecule RX3 has a shape of
The molecule QTX2 has a shape of
Write the Lewis structure for the following molecule. State the electronic
structure (shape based on electron pairs or bonds) AND the geometric structure (shape
based on the atoms only). Include all valence electrons in your structure. State how
many electrons are used to form covalent bonds in the molecule. Is the molecule polar?

Note: one "electron group" means one lone pair, one single bond,
one double bond, or one triple bond.
What phrase best describes the arrangement of these electron
groups around the central phosphorus atom?

- The study of carbon-containing compounds and their properties is called organic chemistry. Besides carbon atoms, organic compounds also can contain hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen atoms (as well as other types of atoms). A common trait of simple organic compounds is to have Lewis structures where all atoms have a formal charge of zero.
